JANUARY MINGLE | OPEN

[oneandmikleonly]

[It's a new year! Well, by the fragile construct of calendar time we're creating on this planet, anyway.

Here's a an open mingle for all your January needs! Are you trying to stalk our new alien stalkers back, or reach out to them, or fight them? Building? Exploring the biomes, for fun and/or to uncover more about our alien friends? Researching? Hugging URSULA? Raising Birdogs or getting involved with other wildlife? Making or breaking resolutions? OTHER? Whatever it is you're doing, you can put it here.

Don't forget to check the OOC plotting post to see what's going on and get involved with missions!]

How old are you? [ He's almost like Alice... like Alice if she had a monotone. This is awful. ] And twenty-five.

[ SHE'S JUST THROWING OUT A NUMBER. ]

[splinten]

Seventeen. Twenty-five in birddog years?

[Do birddogs even live to 25]

[godstongue]

[ wait he's older than her..... well anyway

i don't know a fucking thing my guy ]

Sure. Sounds reasonable, don't you agree?

[splinten]

Not really. Key developmental years are much earlier than that. The metaphorical twenties are a period when your eggs will be reasonably set in their linguistic ways. If you want them to actually have a choice, they need to be presented with their options at the earliest stage when they can be expected to choose for themselves.

[DIRK DOESN'T EVEN THINK HE'D BE A GOOD PARENT why is he doing this

he is bored, mostly]

[godstongue]

[ Dirk. ]

... Maybe I did that wrong. [ Probably because she has a serious expression at all times and so far she's actually been pretty damn serious. ] I was trying to make a joke, as one would call it. Sarcasm.

But it doesn't quite matter. I just wish for you to respect my decision not to use any foul language around the eggs I'm guarding, feel free to speak with no filter around someone else's.

[splinten]

That was the plan from the start.

[To respect her decision for her egg babies.

Why, Dirk, did you argue with her then.]

[godstongue]

Then why did you start an argument!?

You're just like someone I know back home!

[splinten]

It felt like something that shouldn't be left as an uncritical given.

[Or, Dirk is the Worst.]

[godstongue]

[ He is the worst. ]

You're having fun with this, aren't you?

[splinten]

No way. I take pedagogy and developmental stages philosophy very seriously.

[He is having SO MUCH fun]

[godstongue]

You're terrible. Honestly I'm just going to go back to believing that you were indeed raised in a barn, just because that sounds like the only explanation for your attitude.

[ Just a really educated barn. In Houston.

i'm like four hours from houston okay those barns can hold a school in them for all we know ]

[splinten]

I raised my own damn self, thank you. In an apartment.

[The Texan accident got downright drawling there. He has been learning too much from Dave.]

i had to go on my twitter for this

[godstongue]

You honestly want me to believe that?

[ Dirk looks like this in her perspective. Monotone pupper. ]

[splinten]

[this is a perfect image of dirk; in fact i never said my dirk headcanon, but in fact

it is a shiba inu in a cowboy hat]

The belief of others has never really been a primary concern of mine.

[godstongue]

Then it shouldn't concern you that I believe that you were raised in a barn.
